Hi Liza Jane:

I had never heard of Mephistos before so I went online.

These must be the most comfortable shoes in the whole wide world. I'm surpised that Oprah (who always complains about her feet), well, I'm surprised she's not wearing these every day. She can afford them.

If I owned a house, I would have to mortgage it.

Holy Cow. I never knew a pair of shoes (not the ones worn by Paris Hilton), but a regular pair of shoes, could cost this much.

For this price, they must be like butter. I remember my aunt when she bought a pair of shoes for $25.00. This was 50 years ago. I'll never forget the conversation. She said 'Melody, you don't screw with your feet, you spend whatever you have to and your feet will thank you", then she showed me her new shoes that cost $25.00. She said "These feel like butter".

Imagine remembering word for word a conversation I had 50 years ago. It just came to me.

Now 50 years ago, NOBODY SPENT $25.00 ON ANY PAIR OF SHOES.

She's still alive, she's 83, she shovels her own driveway up in Coxsackie NY, and I bet she would love a pair of these.

I have to tell her about these shoes. She wouldn't mind the price. She takes very good care of herself.
